I was looking for new side dish recipes when I came across one for a
Thai style green beans
. These tasty sounding green beans are covered in a creamy and spicy peanut butter, hoisin and soy sauce. I just could not pass up the chance to use a peanut sauce in a new way. Though I really like my current
spicy peanut sauce
recipe I was all for trying a new one and the use of the hoisin sauce sounded good. I dressed the recipe up a bit by adding some fresh chopped chilies, green onions and some lime juice. The green beans covered in spicy peanut sauce were really good! The peanut sauce went really well on the crisp green beans and the crunchy peanuts added yet another layer of texture. I would imagine that a spicy peanut sauce could be added to many vegetables to liven them up a bit.

I just love peanut sauce. In Indonesia, people use them in many different way; serve on satay, steam veggies, raw veggies, dipping for fruit, you name it. Yours sound really delicious, especially with hoisin sauce. This dish will be vanish really fast in my house.
